I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Village Discount Outlet (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2016
Interview
Chicago, Store manager accepted their own application, looked it over and would give it to General Manager. Store manager would call to come in and take the Cashier rules to bring home to study and sign off on. Also learn the codes for items sold. The interview was friendly and the assistant/night manager was a very nice person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not many except how much do you want to work and can you be a cashier. They start you out as part time.
